Buh-Bye Stinky Diapers: #MunchkinCanada Diaper Pail Review & Giveaway

Any day now, we are going to welcome our new little addition to our family.

Of course there is nothing but pure excitement (and chaos) all around as we prepare our son's nursery for his arrival.

As I go through all the nursery items we kept in storage for our little girl, I came across one of the most important items that was definitely a life-saver nose-saver -- The Diaper Pail! 

A flood of memories, funny and gross (but always cherished) came back to mind about the days when that pail was put to full use.  Those days are coming again! 

For all you experienced mother's (and father's), you know how foul that odour was when disposing dirty diapers without the proper diaper pail/bags.

There's no masking it!

We learned the hard way when we decided to be a little more frugal and just use regular garbage bags the good old-fashioned way.

Let's just say not only did our poor little girl's nursery reek for days, but so did parts of our home! P-U!

Let me introduce you to a revolutionary diaper pail -- the Munchkin® Arm & Hammer Diaper Pail!

This wasn't the diaper pail that I owned 3+ years ago, but the leading competitors so I had to know if this would measure up to it.

Having the great advantage of having close friends & family that have wee ones, I put it to the test during a recent play date with a friend that had twin babies (since my son wasn't available yet to be of assistance for this particular portion of the review).

-----------------------
**UPDATE: Since the birth of my son this past Friday, September 7th, and his arrival home on Sept 9th, let me just tell you that this diaper pail has been of much use! Considering the amount of diapers a little person can consume in only a week's time, my husband and I were amazed at how many diapers it was able to hold (we just changed a bag yesterday) and ZERO odour! We are loving this diaper pail in comparison to the one we used with our daughter in 2008 and truly recommend!
-----------------------

There's no getting past me when it comes to odour -- I can smell anything from a mile away, especially something that's off.  So I was very pleased to learn that this product definitely backed up it's promise.

Check out the awards on it too! It was chosen as top and coveted pick from some of the best (including PTPA!)

The Munchkin® Arm & Hammer Diaper Pail uses Arm & Hammer baking soda to help eliminate odours with an easy to use system:

• one handed operation
• patented self-sealing system seals the bag as the lid closes
• comes with 3 bag refills; more refills sold separately 

Okay, anybody that knows me (especially my husband), will tell you that I'm not so great when it comes to these kind of contraptions.  I want something that I can use (especially if I'm going to use it often), that is quick and very easy for me.  Otherwise, I'd lose my patience with it and ever want to use it again. 

True story.

This was very easy to use from the beginning to the end.

I especially love the fact that it includes a baking soda cartridge that absorbs the odor and dispenses it each time the lid is closed. Awesome feature!

You can check out a demo video here: http://bit.ly/TwdCjl

A full cartridge lasts over 90 days, and refilling is simple (no need for a separate deodorizer). Each bag holds up to 25 diapers and is easy to snap, seal and toss when full. The pail comes fully assembled and includes 3 Arm & Hammer Diaper Pail Refill Bags.

To purchase Refill Bags are inexpensive as well which is a big plus!

The Munchkin® Arm & Hammer Diaper Pail  retails for approximately $49.99 Cdn in most major retailers.

I think a fair price compared to it's competitor and for what it has to offer.

If you're on Facebook, make sure to constantly check up on their Munchkin Facebook page for a $10 instant rebate coupon for the diaper pail.

Another product that I absolutely love is their  Arm & Hammer™ 3-in-1 Potty Seat .  Mind you, my daughter is fully toilet-trained, but she uses it as a stepping stool now and we will definitely be using it for our son when it's his time to learn.

Here are some great potty-training tips and my experience with training from a previous post: http://bit.ly/QrDDiw.

I also love their Deodorizing Plug Protectors and Nursery Fresheners with Brackets to keep your space fresh and odour-free!

I truly believe you will love this diaper pail, that I'm giving one of my lucky readers a chance to win a Munchkin® Arm & Hammer Diaper Pail of their very own + a  Munchkin® Arm & Hammer™ 3-in-1 Potty Seat for your big-little kid that's ready to start (or is) potty/toilet-training!
